An image forming apparatus executes an image forming operation adequately while reducing a cumbersome work of a user of setting the sheet size. A processor of the image forming apparatus controls an image forming portion to form the image on the sheet even if the sheet size included in an image forming job is inconsistent with the sheet size stored in a storage portion. In such a mode, the processor controls a notification portion so as to give notification when a size detection portion detects one of regular sheet sizes and where the sheet size included in the image forming job is inconsistent with the detected sheet size.

An image processing apparatus includes: a display section; an image reading section; a rectangle extracting section that extracts a rectangle-representing image from a document image acquired from reading by the image reading section and detects a size and a location of the rectangle-representing image in the document image; an identification information assigning section that sequentially assigns a piece of identification information to the extracted rectangle-representing image; a display control section; an operation acceptance section; a box information creating section that associates the rectangle-representing image specified as a box the size and location of the rectangle-representing image in the document image, and the piece of identification information assigned to the rectangle-representing image with each other to create a piece of box information on the box; a storage section; and a control section that allows the storage section to store a template containing the document image and the piece of box information.

The present disclosure provides an image forming apparatus configured to execute an image forming operation adequately while reducing a cumbersome work of a user of setting the sheet size. A processor of the image forming apparatus configured to execute a mode where the processor controls an image forming portion to form the image on the sheet even if the sheet size included in an image forming job is inconsistent with the sheet size stored in a storage portion. In such a mode, the processor controls a notification portion so as to give notification in a case where a size detection portion detects one of regular sheet sizes and where the sheet size included in the image forming job is inconsistent with the sheet size detected by the size detection portion.
